In the used market, the HP Laserjet 4M and 4M Plus are highly regarded.
Only so long as you have the Postscript update in them; the original Postscript ROM for these has signiifcant issues with modern drivers. I've got a 1994 4M with the old Postscript, on my network via a built- in JetDirect
Mechanically it's stellar, but I have continuing issues with print jobs blowing up on PS errors. Along about 10.4 or 10.5 HP yanked the old old HP drivers of their web site, and Apple's HP4M driver just does not work, any time I print anything more complex than plain text it blows up.
Similarly (but slightly less so) for the LaserJet 5M. I'm a fan of the LaserJet 2100TN.
The 2100TN is a stellar performer...we have one as our shop printer, rarely have issues with it, never an issue that a restart doesn't fix.
(Our printer before that was a HP 4 with the PS ROM. It worked for years)
